Brief Synopsis
This happened to me during Marine Combat Training (MCT) in North Carolina. It talks about the importance of training but on another level the deeper lessons taught by training.
Author Notes
Yes, I was in the USMC from 90-94. I traveled and did some interesting things. I have many memories from that time, but this one sticks with me. I thought I'd share.


Reviews

Sandy Lulay : This is good, solid, intense writing. I was held captive from your first to last word. Biography is one of my favorite reads but difficult to keep the interest of the reader. You did this very well. Have you ever considered putting your four years with the Marines into a book? I think it would be a great read for those young folks considering the service and even for us old folks:) and especially parents with sons and daughters in the service. (11-Jul-07)
scrapsoflife : Very moralistic there at the end, and very true. I could not even imagine being in that situation myself, but your words conveyed a very real sense of place. (23-Mar-07)
A.C. Millicent : Wow! I can see why that stuck with you. I thought it was very well written, and your description gave me a sense of what you experienced. (15-Mar-07)
